Queues are real
Management companies and landlords’ agents handle many requests. If a seller orders late, the transaction timetable may slip regardless of how keen the buyer is.
Communication reduces chain heat
Clear updates to clients about realistic timescales reduce emotional escalation. Silence does the opposite.
Sellers can help themselves
Order early where possible, pay fees promptly, and keep a tidy record of what was requested and when. If something is genuinely unknown, say so early.
Platform note
Property Passport UK can help organise documents and context when Stakeholders use permissions responsibly. It does not bypass the management company’s own processes.
